Want to answer more questions in the Domesticity category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Babysitting?
If they are girls, ask if you can do little makeovers!

You could play simple 'hide and seek' games or bring a coloring book and crayons for them to color. Or you could bring some books to read to them. There's lots of thigns you can do, just make up fun stuff! :)

Whenever I babysit I like to color with the kids. Also, take the kids outside and play or bring games. Kids love when you bring something from your home because it's something new that they can play with. I hope this helps.

Entertainment can be simple. I babysat from age 14 all the way through college and I know these things are a hit:
1. Gather some small objects that are the same size & shape (they don't have to be the same color): blocks, checkers, little plastic figures, pieces to a game, etc. Then hide them in a room in easy places at first, and have the kids search for them, (like an Easter egg hunt). As the kids get better at finding the objects, make it a little more difficult to find them. This game kept 2 active little boys I used to sit with, busy for hours! If they get stuck and can't find the objects, add an element of "hot" and "cold". When they are near an object say "hot" to clue them that they are getting closer and "cold" if they are too far away. Kids love finding things in a treasure hunt!
2. Ask the parents for a large, clean plastic container to put water in, (like a Rubbermaid type tub for washing dishes in the sink). Put the tub or container, filled with water, on the back porch outside or in the yard in the shade. Add some small cups, bath toys, or plastic items for the kids to have water play with. For a twist, add food coloring (just a few drops) to the water. They will play for a long time like this and you can pull up a chair and supervise them.
3. Use blocks and simple toys to build a "city" on the floor. They can decorate empty boxes for buildings or even pieces of paper to make sidewalks and simple picture signs. Get other objects (toys) to create a park, fountain, etc. Then gather a few small people and vehicles. Play with them for a while and show them how to pretend driving to the store, walking the dog, go shopping, etc. Kids will play independently if you model what to do first.
4. Bring a plain deck of cards and pull out a few pair of cards: 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, etc. Shuffle, turn cards face down and play "Concentration" by taking turns. Turn over two cards at a time & try to find a matching pair. When you don't match on your turn, go the the next person and so on. When the kids get really good at it, add several more pairs. Then introduce face cards. It keeps the game interesting and is easy and educational (matching numbers & memory recall).
These are all simple, require no money and most families have these things at their house already. Don't be shy about bringing a 'bag of tricks' with you when you babysit: (a kids book, that might be new to them, to read at story time, a flashlight to make shapes & shadows on the wall of a dark room, or read a story with the flashlight, and a sheet or blanket to put over the kitchen or dining table to make a tent). Have fun!

play imaginary games.. its good to help the kids open their imagination. Stay away from the TV or watching movies unless their parents specifically asked that.. you can try giving them piggy back rides and stuff... ehehehe plenty of things that dont require television or the computer..

hey! well it wont always be fun for you but for them...you can play games...*simon says is a good one*..watch movies...when they watch movies you can be doing something in the same room that you want to be doing...also you can play with playdough!!~

if you live near a park, take them to it. if you are 16, take them to go get ice cream. it really depends on the kid. like if you have coloring books, take that. bring lots of movies that you think they will like, not american pie at age 4 or 6!! like maybe rugrats, or anything on nickelodeon, cartoon network, or the disney channel. hope i helped!!
**please rate me!!**

I had the exact same problem with my best friend. Everyone knew he was gay but he just wasn't ready to tell. He eventually came out,and gained alot more respect for it. However, don't rush him into confessing anything, he'll do it eventually if he IS gay, it's not an easy thing for someone to come out and say. The best thing you can do is continue to be his friend, stick up for him when someoen calls him gay (EVEN IF YOU AGREE) and eventually he'll come out, when HE'S ready. We forced my friend too, and it's something I regret a whole bunch looking back on. Just don't hassle him about it...like I said, he'll come out some day, that is, if he's gay...he could just be feminine?

coloring, drawing, play outside, swim, play imaginative games like 'house', simple games like hide and seek, tag, a board game similar to candy land, anything! ask the kids what they want to do, and they will tell you. thats the good thing about kids, they always tell you what they want or is on their mind

kids love it when u play games with them. i would suggest hide and go seek...but not outside, who knows where the lil kids would go at that age. wheni babysit we play board games alot...its not the funnest thing, but it keeps you busy! also kids arent to good at keeping secrets so if they luv it when u babysit they will prolly tell their parents...which is a bonus for you!
